When you don’t have to appropriate budget ready it takes some planning and strategic decision making. I’ve been trying to lighten up my load gradually for a while.

As much as the Vango mat was a good option it was (as all mats of this type are) heavy and big. But when I was getting ready for this summer trip I decided to upgrade my sleeping mat. It was easy to use and pretty comfortable.

It served me well throughout my hiking in Scotland and Spain. As my budget was quite limited and I had to buy a lot of gear, I settled for a self-inflatable mat by Vango. Which means, that when I was first looking for a sleeping mat, I didn’t even consider getting just a foam mattress. I started looking at X-Lite because CIPC doesn't run on a Mac and I have customers who love their Macs but don't really like CUPC.I need to open this review with a disclaimer: I love to sleep and I like my comforts. The video/presence/IM portion of X-Lite means it is more a kin to CUPC than CIPC. Though, X-Lite has a video portion and a IM portion that I have not explored. Right now, if I put cost and all the other things out of my mind, I have to say I like the CIPC client better than X-Lite for basic phone calls. X-Lite is free (well, nothing is free but you get the point).

Actually, if we get into counting DLUs then that means we aren't on CUWL which implies that you have to buy CIPC licenses (client side). So, if you are going to quibble over license unit cost then I would say this is a point worth considering. Also, technically speaking the license unity cost for an X-Lit client is 3 DLUs while the license unity cost for a 7942 is 4 DLUs. The CIPC was actually modeled after the 7970 series IP phone. Though, I would like to point out that the Cisco IP Communicator (CIPC) is nothing like the Cisco 7942. Clearly, the industry is moving to a Burger King state of mind (as in "have it your way"). Well, I am not going to debate about preferences on IP phone clients.
